COMPUTER CLUB of ROSSMOOR
Walnut Creek, California
Flash Classes may be held via Zoom or in person. See class listing for details.
The idea behind Flash Classes is that they are over in a Flash. Each class focuses on a single, narrowly-defined topic and will generally last 45-60 minutes. New classes are scheduled monthly so check back regularly to see the lastest offerings.
- Classes are now being held either via Zoom or in the Computer Center. See class listing for details.
- Classes are available ONLY to members of the Computer Club of Rossmoor.
- Classes are free of charge to current members.
- Depending on the topic covered, class size is generally limited to 10 -15 students for classes held via Zoom. For classes held in the Computer Center, class size is generally limited to 10.
- If your desired class is full, add your name to the Wait List. Those on the Wait List are often able to attend due to cancellations. Classes with long Wait Lists generally will be repeated the following month.
Just follow these easy steps to enroll:
- Click the link shown above in the class description (or click the blue Enroll button).

- Click "Register." After clicking "Next" a couple of times, you will then see the "Confirm" button. Click it and you're done!

Use the search bar to find the last time you saw that doctor and set up a reminder for when you need to schedule the next time. Use Siri to make your calendar entries and prevent you from double booking. Set up repeating club dates. Get notified of a birthday or anniversary for a friend in your Contacts.
